How big of a canvas for an alternative guest book?

Amy, on March 20, 2018 at 1:37 PM Posted in Planning 0 17
I haven't found anything I like for a guest book and realized I can actually get any art print I like with a good enough amount of white space and have people sign that. I'm not sure I'll do this but am considering it if I can find something cool.


Or just find a regular print and get it matted and have guests sign the matte but I'm leaning towards the first option to have the most space.

My question is, has anyone done a flat guest book (anything that hangs, really)? I have no idea how big I need to buy for about 70 or so guests!

    I have been wondering the same thing. I was thinking that for my 100 guest I would get an 8x10 frame. But I am interested in what others say too

    We're doing something very similar to that, with the Philadelphia skyline and our names/date personalized on it from an Etsy shop. We're having about 130-150 people and bought the 19" x 27" size. Here is the stock photo for reference. We won't mind if people sign above the skyline too.

    My friend had their initial cut out of wood. I was about 2 feet tall. They painted it then had everyone sign it. It looks really neat hanging on their wall.

    We ordered something similar to this on Etsy. It’s printed on navy canvas and we did 20”x30” so guests have plenty of space to sign and we will hang it in our house afterwords.

    One of my friends did a canvas. It now hangs on their living room wall and is beautiful!

    My photo didn’t add to my post! But it had plenty of room for their 150-200 guests to sign!

    Can you let me know the size? I'm so bad at estimating!

    We had a 20 x 30 canvas picture of ourselves that people signed. We had 350 guests (including children), and of course not everyone signed it but it was pretty full. I loved doing a canvas instead of a traditional guest book because now I see it everytime I'm in my room.

    Thanks! I'm looking at a much smaller wedding but this helps immensely! I'm still so undecided on exactly what I want!

    Thanks everyone! I got this great idea I don't know if I'll be able to pull off and it'll definitely require knowing the size too. My fiancé collects movie posters (like rare ones and foreign ones and limited run ones) so I was like why don't I make a one of a kind 1 of 1 limited custom POSTER for people sign as our guest book?!


    I have no graphic design skills.


    Here we go!

    I had a 10x14 canvas of one of our engagement photos printed at Walgreens and it turned out great and it was larger than I expected. We aren’t using it as a guestbook but I imagine that size would be perfect for that!
